Being a tour guide for historical celebrities, the motherland is amazed again

Chapter 20 This old man really won't cry until he sees the coffin
Li Bai was very excited and spoke louder, and the audience around him looked at him strangely.

"I'm sorry, my friend was too immersed in the role." Su Jiahe quickly apologized to everyone.

"Miss Su, are the things in the Song of Everlasting Regret all true?"

"It's all true," Su Jiahe whispered. "There was a poet named Bai Juyi who wrote 'Song of Everlasting Sorrow', which records the tragic love story between Emperor Xuanzong and Concubine Yang."

Even after the show was over, Li Bai was still in a daze. He was led by Su Jiahe and walked down the stands in a daze.

"Brother Taibai, are you okay?"

Li Bai stood there, stunned for a while, and then burst into tears.

"The Tang Dynasty, once at the height of its power, how could it fall to ruin in just a decade or so?"

"Brother Taibai, calm down first."

Su Jiahe supported Li Bai and found a small pub to sit down and rest.

Li Bai ordered a stack of beer, one cup after another, to drown his sorrows.

"Brother Taibai, don't be too sad. Nothing has happened yet. There is room for improvement." Su Jiahe persuaded.

"Oh!" Li Bai drank a glass of wine and sighed heavily again.

"I'm just a scholar. Even if I knew the Tang Dynasty would decline, what could I do to change it?"

"Brother Taibai, don't lose heart. Now that you know the hidden dangers of the Tang Dynasty in advance, you can go back and make suggestions to the emperor."

"Advise me? Haha..." Li Bai laughed bitterly. "Miss Su, do you really think His Majesty will listen to me?"

"Isn't the emperor very fond of you now?"

"Hmph, appreciation?" Li Bai waved his hand. "I've been wandering for half my life, and only just achieved the position of Hanlin when I was over forty. I thought I could achieve great things, but in the end, I'm just a court writer trying to please His Majesty. Your Majesty, he doesn't believe I can govern the country!"

"Ah..." Su Jiahe was a little surprised. She didn't know that Li Bai, who was once very popular, was in such a situation.

"People think I'm uninhibited and carefree, but who knows I'm a talented person with no place to serve my country? I left my hometown at the age of twenty-four. Coming from a merchant family, I couldn't take the imperial examinations. To change the fate of my descendants, I willingly married into the family, but in the end, it was all in vain."

After Li Bai finished speaking, he raised a bottle of wine, drank it all, and then lay on the table and cried bitterly.

Su Jiahe didn't know how to comfort Li Bai, so she sat silently by the side, feeling a mixture of emotions. She only regretted that Xuanzong had become so senile in his later years. She really should have summoned him and let him see for himself what the Tang Dynasty had become!

"Hey, I wonder if the summoning card the system gave me last time will work?"

Su Jiahe carefully took out the summoning card from the compartment of his backpack.

"System, can we summon Emperor Xuanzong of Tang now?"

[Yes, the historical figures you summon can only stay for two hours]

[And their consumption cannot be refunded, and they cannot take items back]

[Host, are you sure you want to summon?]

"Okay, I'll just say a few words to him. But..." Su Jiahe suddenly remembered something, "Is this Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and this Li Bai from the same dimension?"

[If the two are in the same era, they can summon historical figures from the same plane]

"Okay, that's no problem."

[Okay, the historical figure "Emperor Xuanzong of Tang" will arrive in one minute. Please be prepared.]

In an instant, the summoning card in Su Jiahe's hand disappeared.

"Hey, Brother Taibai, stop crying and sober up. The Emperor will be here soon."

"Ah? The emperor has also come to the afterlife?" Li Bai immediately jumped up from the table.

"I called you. There's still half a minute left. Get ready."

"Can you call His Majesty?"

Li Bai was still somewhat skeptical when suddenly a bright yellow shadow flashed by, and an old man with white hair, dressed in a dragon robe, appeared out of thin air in the private room. "Where is this? How did I suddenly get here?"

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was looking around when he heard a voice saying, "Your Majesty, I, Li Bai, pay my respects to you."

"Li Bai, why are you here too? What are you wearing?" Xuanzong was shocked when he saw Li Bai.

Based on Li Bai's reaction, Su Jiahe was sure that this was the real Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.

"You must be Li Longji, the seventh emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

Only then did Xuanzong realize that there was another person in the room.

"How dare you! Who are you? You don't kneel before me, and you even call me by my name!"

"Your Majesty, we are now one thousand years in the future," Li Bai explained hastily, "people in later generations do not have the ritual of kneeling and bowing."

"Huh?" Xuanzong looked bewildered. "I was just hosting a banquet in the palace. How could it be a thousand years later?"

It took Su Jiahe and Li Bai half an hour to convince Xuanzong that he had really traveled through time.

"Taibai, when you came to travel to the afterlife, you didn't forget to call me. Your loyalty is evident." Xuanzong said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I summoned you here to tell you something very important. There are only six quarters of an hour left, and these six quarters of an hour may affect the destiny of the Tang Dynasty." Seeing that time was running out, Su Jiahe got straight to the point.

"Hmph! How can a little girl like you influence the prosperity of my Tang Dynasty?" Xuanzong said disdainfully.

Alas, what Li Bai said was right. In his later years, Xuanzong was proud and complacent and would not listen to other people's opinions. Su Jiahe complained inwardly.

"Since Your Majesty doesn't believe me, let's see what the historians have recorded."

Su Jiahe opened his mobile phone, searched for "Old Book of Tang" in the bookstore, turned to the chapter "Chronicle of Emperor Xuanzong", and handed it to Emperor Xuanzong.

When Xuanzong saw the great achievements recorded in history books, his face became more and more proud.

"Well, this history book is well written!"

But in the second half, Xuanzong's expression became more and more solemn.

After reading his own biography, Xuanzong, like Li Bai after reading Song of Everlasting Sorrow, could not help but burst into tears.

"How could this be? Does our Great Tang Dynasty only have a dozen years left?"

Li Bai stood aside, wanting to say something but saying nothing.

"Your Majesty, don't be too sad. It's not too late to prepare for a rainy day." Su Jiahe handed over a stack of tissues, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

This old Deng really won't cry until he sees the coffin.

Xuanzong wiped away his tears and continued to learn more about historical events of the Tang Dynasty. He also basically knew the shortcomings of the Tang Dynasty, who could be used, and who needed to be eliminated.

"Today I have traveled through time to the future and can predict the future. May God bless the Tang Dynasty!" Xuanzong sighed to the sky.

"Your Majesty, when Li Bai returns, he will bring some high-yield crops and books that can make the Tang Dynasty more prosperous." Su Jiahe said.

"Really? Thank you so much, Miss Su." Xuanzong was very excited. "Taibai, when we return to the Tang Dynasty, I will confer a higher title on you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Bai kowtowed in thanks, the corners of his mouth harder to suppress than an AK47.

"Your Majesty, there is less than a quarter of an hour left. Can I ask a question?" Su Jiahe suddenly said.

"But it doesn't matter."

"How will Your Majesty treat Concubine Yang when he returns?"

Some people say that Xuanzong had deep feelings for Concubine Yang and loved her so much, while others say that Concubine Yang was just a plaything and could be sacrificed at will in the face of the country.

Therefore, Su Jiahe has always been curious about the relationship between the two.
